your '68 has a hi gain pick up in the treble position, right?
I didn't know that '68 4001 were so special for rickenbacker collectors

Ok, I'm back!!
I put the TI long scale strings on it and what a difference it makes!! The lows are very clear and booming and I didn't even have to intonate it!
...but it was certainly tough trying to seat those string ends into the R tailpiece!!
Now.....to find a suitable amp for my babies to sound their best.....

Ampeg....the SVT line?
I really like the McCartney/RIC sound but keep in mind.....I also will be playing a Hofner through it.....

`how bigs' the gig?
SVT for sure-if ya got roadies!
V4B-H 'same' preamp section but different power valves and OT/PT trannys-so not the 'same' tone.
For small gigs-SB-12 thru the board (but has no DI or XLR)

Lots of outside stuff in good weather. For inside use, I'll definitely need the xlr.....
Inside is mostly smaller venues.
